Hermite Polynomial Closure Approximations for Stochastic Epidemic Models
Moment closure approximations have been developed to provide simple approximations to non-linear stochastic models. They can give tremendous insight into the qualitative and quantitative behavior of stochastic models. They are also important because they can be used to mimic behavior observed in simulation studies, or in some cases, validate the dynamics of rigorous limit theorems. In most stoc...
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملStochastic Epidemic Models
The present work concerns models of epidemic which are described by differential and stochastic differential equations. The theorems on the existence, uniqueness and properties of their solutions are stated. Introduction In nature, there are many diseases which can cause epidemics. Therefore it is useful to model the behavior of these diseases in order to control their progression. In this pape...
متن کاملAutomated Likelihood Based Inference for Stochastic Volatility Models∗
In this paper the Laplace approximation is used to perform classical and Bayesian analyses of univariate and multivariate stochastic volatility (SV) models. We show that implementation of the Laplace approximation is greatly simplified by the use of a numerical technique known as automatic differentiation (AD). Several algorithms are proposed and compared with some existing methods using both s...
متن کاملLikelihood-based inference for asymmetric stochastic volatility models
A likelihood approach for 0tting asymmetric stochastic volatility models is proposed. It is 0rst shown that, using a quadrature method, the likelihood of these models may be approximated, with the required level of accuracy, by a function that may be easily evaluated using matrix calculus along with its 0rst and second derivatives. The approximated likelihood may be maximized using a standard N...
